Ended up with food poisoning or a stomach bug last week and it's been a full week so I wanted to go ahead and try to weigh in because I didn't want being sick possibly showing a false weight loss. Saw the urologist and had a CT scan. They checked my kidney function before the CT scan and my kidneys are filtering great with a 0.8 creatine amount (this is within the recommended number of 0.6-1.2). Still microscopic blood is showing on the urinalysis so I am starting to really think it's a kidney stone. They said I should be contacted possibly sometime this week. They also did a bladder ultrasound to check if I was emptying okay, nothing abnormal came up and I'm emptying fine.
The urologist gave me Overactive bladder medication to try (to try to help with my feeling to go pee and then going and barely anything coming out) and it says in the insert not to take if you have kidney problems - it doesn't specify what kidney problems. I don't think I have an overactive bladder, I think it's just my body trying to tell me something is wrong. Once we figure that something out and get it taken care of, I think the problem will go away. I think it's just my body trying to wick away whatever the problem is. So no I'm not taking that medication, I'd rather not take it than possibly make it worse. I don't like taking medication. I think my body is strong enough to do it's own thing except for this microscopic blood thing. For all we know my kidneys are just passing a kidney stone very slowly. I didn't pay for the medication and he gave it to me to sample, looks like he's going to get it right back. If he persists I have an overactive bladder, I'm going to find a new doctor.
It was nice to see a little drop with everything going on from my boyfriend's birthday, my aunt's surprise birthday party, labor day, and the stress.
